Fall Vx Camping Meet

[Triathlete]

Knigh7s...that is to bad. Hopefully things will change and you'll still be able to attend. Keep us informed.

Alexander...are you going to be in Phoenix on for your job again? That is cool. Will you be needing a ride? Will you be needing any camping equipment? Let us know if you need anything. Will be nice to see you again.

phx99blackvx...we will see how many want to get together. But that sounds alright to me. We will figure it all out as it gets closer and we know who will be chowing down with us!

[VXcaver]

Haus Murpheys - I'll vote for that! It's hard to find good German food. In all of Tucson there's not one German restaurant any more.

Alexander - I have plenty of spare camping gear if you need anything.

This time just for vacation Things were changed and now I work for the different company, but I still have friends in Phoenix area and have enough bonus miles for the flight Also, I still have a dream to walk from one side of Grand Canyon to another (that planned for November 10th or 11th from North to South Rim ).

I will check with friend who be hosting me during my trip if he has sleeping bag for me (will I need anything else except of wear and food? ).

3 WEEKS TO GO!!!!

[Triathlete]

For everyone who is going to go to the meet let me know where you will be joining us....Phoenix to caravan up or at the Tonto Natural Bridge parking lot. This way we can make sure we leave no one behind.

If anyone needs directions to either of the meet spots let me know.

Also anyone else up for dinner Friday night in Phoenix...looks like Haus Murphy's will be the spot. phx99blackvx, can you post the adress for us? How does 5:30pm sound?

See everyone in 16 days!

Tri-

Don't take me off the 'maybe' list yet...but I'm all for in on this thing.
Since Saturday morning starts so early, I'd plan on getting in Friday afternoon.
So, I'd be down for dinner.

Could you recommend a decent place (or area rather) to stay Friday night?
Then again, the meet time is so early I could probably sleep in the VX!

TWO WEEKS TO GO!!!!!!!

Hello all, Sorry so late on follow up.

The address for Haus Murphys:
5739 W Glendale Ave
Glendale, AZ 85301
(623) 939-2480

www.hausmurphys.com (to see the menu)

Glendale ave is a main road off of I17 that runs through the middle of Phoenix. If you are coming off of I17, you would exit off on Glendale ave and head west. The resturant is located in downtown Glendale, which is quite quaint. There is plenty of free on street parking on the side streets.

The pros to 5:30 will be that seating shoud be quick, the Cons is Rush hour traffic in Phoenix, but then again, I have never thought it was all that bad for the 5th largest city in USA.

I will check back the day before we meet for dinner and try to get headcount and call ahead, so If anyone wants to join us, please respond with the number of bodies.

See everyone soon,

Derek

We will meet up with everyone at the Tonto natural bridge parking lot ! its still on for 9:00AM???????
Should we bring firewood? never been up there so i don't know what the dead wood pickings are like

[VCAMILO]

Im on the other side of town (Chandler) so it would probably take me more than an hour to get there. I can probably get off work early to be able to make it.

Fire wood? Yes bring a bag or two. If everyone brings a bag that would be cool. There is always wood around when I've been there.

I also have to go to 'first friday' art festival just north of downtown phonenix that night. A friend has a new gallery and I promised Steph that we would go. If anyone wants to joing us and walk around for an hour or so let me know. I will be heading there after dinner or around 7-8pm.

[Triathlete]

I'll join you Victor as long as I don't have to get dressed up. I won't have my tux's with me...only camping clothes!

[VCAMILO]

Its an outdoor event thru the streets of phoenix. The galleries are open for folks to wonder in and out. http://phoenix.about.com/cs/enter/a/firstfriday.htm

I will probably have to head back from the campsite at around 11am because I have a basketball tournament to go to. One of the players busted his knee cap and we now have only 5 players. That should put me back in Phoenix at around 1:15pm

Remember to bring a little bit firewood everyone.

LESS THAN 1 WEEK TO GO!

Victor, the way you drive you shouldn't have to leave till 12:30!

Still need to know where everyone is meeting us.
I am going to assume me, Victor (VCamilo), Bob VXCaver), Jeff (TucsonVX), phx99, SBC, Alexander (Uncle Asa) will be meeting at the Phoenix meet spot.

Thaverland....you're still showing, right? Haven't heard from you lately.

Cryonman...you still going to make it?

Alexander...is there any camp gear you will need?

[CrnCnn]

Not me, I gotta save some of my time for my Christmas trip to Tucson. Maybe some of you southern AZ VXer's will be able to meet up for a drink.
